TL;DR: Q-DIO has shown to be a reliable instrument that allows measuring the documented quality of nursing diagnoses, interventions and outcomes with and without implementation of theory based, standardised nursing languages.
Abstract: The instrument Q-DIO was developed in the years 2005 till 2006 to measure the quality of documented nursing diagnoses, interventions, and nursing sensitive patient outcomes. Testing psychometric properties of the Q-DIO (Quality of nursing Diagnoses, Interventions and Outcomes.) was the study aim. Instrument testing included internal consistency, test-retest reliability, interrater reliability, item analyses, and an assessment of the objectivity. To render variation in scores, a random strata sample of 60 nursing documentations was drawn. The strata represented 30 nursing documentations with and 30 without application of theory based, standardised nursing language. Internal consistency of the subscale nursing diagnoses as process showed Cronbach's Alpha 0.83 [0.78, 0.88]; nursing diagnoses as product 0.98 [0.94, 0.99]; nursing interventions 0.90 [0.85, 0.94]; and nursing-sensitive patient outcomes 0.99 [0.95, 0.99]. With Cohen's Kappa of 0.95, the intrarater reliability was good. The interrater reliability showed a Kappa of 0.94 [0.90, 0.96]. Item analyses confirmed the fulfilment of criteria for degree of difficulty and discriminative validity of the items. In this study, Q-DIO has shown to be a reliable instrument. It allows measuring the documented quality of nursing diagnoses, interventions and outcomes with and without implementation of theory based, standardised nursing languages. Studies for further testing of Q-DIO in other settings are recommended. The results implicitly support the use of nursing classifications such as NANDA, NIC and NOC.

TL;DR: The Mandibular Excursiometer had higher intrarater and interrater reliability for measuring deviation and deflection during active mandibular opening than observation alone, based on a comparison with the literature.
Abstract: Measurement tools improve the reliability and validity of measurement. The purpose of this study was to test the intrarater and interrater reliability of a new instrument, the Mandibular Excursiometer, for measuring mandibular excursion on the X and Y axis in the coronal plane during active opening. Two raters measured 12 volunteers. Four ratio, three nominal, and one ordinal scale measurements were analyzed using percent agreement. The Mandibular Excursiometer had high intrarater reliability for vertical opening (100%) and for the categorization of the presence or absence and direction of lateral deviation at the maximum point during opening (92–100%). Overall, moderate intrarater reliability existed for the quantity of lateral deviation at the maximum point during opening (66–83%), presence and direction of deflection (66–83%), presence of deviation or deflection during opening (66–83%), and in which third of opening the maximum point of lateral deviation occurred (66–83%). Moderate interrater reliabili...
